Pennsylvania Still Waiting For One Of The 3 Penned Online Poker Bills To Pass

Online bettors think John Payne's bill has the best odds of passing, to provide online poker and casino games to Pennsylvania.

Tina Davis, Pennsylvania State Representative, has become the third government figure to try to introduce an online gaming bill in the US state this year. According to US gambling news, the new HB920 bill doesn't differ much from the online gaming legislation that Davis had also presented back in 2013. The only thing new is that this time she is simply positive wont fall short of the committee's expectations.

John Payne, another Pennsylvania State Representative already has one hanging and Davis' bill has joined his. If Bill HB649 is passed Pennsylvania will at long last be able to provide legal online poker and casino games to its citizens. In the line up, Representative Nick Miccarelli has his HB695 also waiting for approval. Of the three it seems that the odds of Payne’s bill passing are the highest.
